A vacant Kangaroo Point block could be transformed into a 15-storey apartment tower, with plans lodged for a mid-market residential project at 39 Lambert Street.
Kangaroo Point Site Eyed For 52 Apartments
The proposal outlines a new residential tower on a 1,012 square metre site at 39 Lambert Street, where the land has been vacant since around 2018. The block was previously occupied by a two-storey white-brick apartment building.
The plan is for 52 apartments across 15 levels, with the project positioned as a mid-market offering in the inner-city suburb. The apartment mix is weighted heavily towards two-bedroom homes, with 48 two-bedroom apartments and four three-bedroom apartments proposed.
Keylin Lambert Street Pty Ltd is listed as the primary applicant, with Mewing Planning Consultants involved in the planning process. The application was submitted on 23 April 2026 and remains in progress.
Greenery And Rooftop Amenities Shape The Design
The tower has been designed with a strong focus on greenery, with planting planned across balcony areas, landscaped ledges and the building façade. The design also includes deep planting zones and curved balcony forms intended to soften the tower’s appearance.
The project includes a rooftop communal area of about 262 square metres. Planned resident amenities include a pool, spa, gym, lounge areas and flexible wellness spaces.
Parking is also included across three basement levels, with additional ground and mezzanine parking. The proposal provides 66 car spaces in total.
Lambert Street Proposal Remains In Progress
The plans describe a slender tower form shaped by setbacks, orientation and spacing from neighbouring buildings. The proposal includes separation of up to 20 metres from the nearby Point Hotel and between 9 and 17 metres from nearby residential developments.
If progressed, the project would return the vacant Lambert Street site to residential use at a larger scale, adding another apartment proposal to Kangaroo Point’s inner-city housing mix.
No final decision has been recorded.
